Turn as much of the Great Basin Desert as feasibly possible into an solar panel arrays.

There is a world energy crisis approaching as the world depletes its fossil fuels. Although expensive, solar panels provide clean energy which can turn a net profit and are beneficial environmentally. Also, if placed in the desert, a fairly small array could power the whole country. This is illustrated here: http://www.spiegel.de/fotostrecke/photo-gallery-solar-energy-from-africa...
Instead of investing in foreign oil, it is beneficial for our country to invest in ourselves and our future. The world is counting on us to be innovators and to solve the world's energy problems.
